While the group has not said which monuments or images they intend to remove there are other obvious targets. These could include a statue of Christopher Codrington, the 19th century slave owner, at All Souls. Or a library by the same name that was built entirely on the slave trade.

Christ Church was founded by conspirator Cardinal Wolsey and therefore could be a target.

There are also other names linked with Rhodes, the Rhodes computer room at University College and there is Rhodes house.

However, it is understood Oxford University will not consider this demand. A source familiar with the matter told the newspaper "the discussion around renaming statues, buildings, etc or removing statues isn't up for discussion".

The newly-elected vice-chancellor, Louise Richardson, has already said she thinks the statue should stay and Oriel College brought to a halt a six-month listening exercise to announce last week that it is keeping the statue as revealed by the Daily Telegraph.

Even if Professor Richardson wanted to give in to the protesters' demands to rename monuments it isn't up to her as each of Oxford's 38 individual colleges have autonomous powers. This ends weeks of speculations over whether the university will have any influence in changing the name of Cecil Rhodes and others as the Rhodes Must Fall movement insists must happen.

However, the RMF group demanded a commitment from Oxford University to "recontextualising iconography celebrating figures of grave injustice".

They added: "Murderous colonists and slave-holders belong in books and museums, not on the sides of buildings. This requires the removal and rehousing of statues and portraits and the renaming of buildings."

But campaigners have now said that they are redoubling their efforts and that's why they have taken their struggle to the university as a whole.

Sarah Atayero, one of the campaign organisers, said: "We are not backing down and we will be redoubling our efforts to take the struggle to the university as whole.

"We continue to believe that the removal and relocation of the monument to Cecil Rhodes is critical for Oxford to reckon with its past, and for Oxford to acknowledge the present-day issues it faces around representation".

Revelations that demands of the students around renaming monuments or removing statues, including Cecil Rhodes, will not be up for discussion ends weeks of speculations on the actions the university might take.

However, there were other demands. A series of seven demands also include asking Oxford to "acknowledge and confront its role in the ongoing physical and ideological violence of empire" as well as changes to the university's application processes and bias training for all academic staff. It is understood the university extended an invitation to RMF to meet before Christmas but the authorities never head back.

A university spokesman said: "The university is engaged in constructive and productive dialogue with students on a range of equality and diversity issues and welcomes their active engagement.

"Last Friday, we re-extended our invitation to Rhodes Must Fall to join other students in this effort to achieve an ever more inclusive university community. In particular, we wish to discuss the need to address the under-representation of black and minority ethnic (BME) students at the university, the ongoing process of curriculum development and the welfare provision for BME students. We hope they will accept this opportunity."

But the story hit the headlines when the college said last December that it would agree to removing a plaque of Rhodes and consider the removal of the statue.

The RMF campaign gained international attention after Tony Abbot, a former Australian prime minister and Rhodes scholar, said Oxford risked damaging "its standing as a great university" if it gave in to the demands.

Since then a number of colleges' unions have expressed their support to the campaign too. Earlier this month the Oxford Union voted to remove the statue.

The RMF movement is not just about removing the statue but about a broadening of the curriculum and the inclusion of ethnic minorities among staff and students as a part of a wider "decolonisation" movement.

Oriel college's Junior Common Room, which represents undergraduates, passed a motion condemning the college for keeping the statue. It had contemplated another motion to condemn the documents leaked to the Daily Telegraph but decided against it.

Meanwhile, in London black and ethnic minority students are running a photo campaign highlighting the racism they allegedly face on campus and their discomfort with a statue of Queen Victoria's Empress of India statue. Posing next to the statue, located in the centre of the North Quad of the Founder's Building at Royal Holloway, the students stand with a whiteboard asking: "How can we feel included when there's a statue that celebrates the subordination of our people?"
